Community centers under review

Local community centers in Castelnau-le-Lez are being audited by the municipality, sparking concern among local associations and residents who rely on these spaces for activities and services.

Uncertainty about future activities

At the Mas de Rochet community center, there is uncertainty about whether certain activities will continue next year. The lack of clear communication has left users and organizers in the dark about potential changes.

Criticism of lack of transparency

An association official, who asked to remain anonymous, criticized the audit process for its lack of transparency. They described the situation as "being in the fog" and noted that users had not been consulted as part of the review.

Mayor confirms audit but no decisions yet

Mayor Julien Miro (Renaissance) confirmed to Hérault Tribune that the community centers are part of an audit initiated when he took office. However, he emphasized that no final decisions have been made and that the process is still in the reflection phase.

Challenges identified in the audit

The mayor outlined several challenges facing the community centers, including staff working conditions, safety concerns, psychosocial risks, and the financial viability of the facilities based on attendance and operating costs.
